The statistic is it takes 6 people to carry one at high altitude. The protocol is usualy give them oxygen, some first aid and a radio. That probably wouldn't save him, but it would at least let him say goodbye. I don't think they could have rescued him as the bottleneck is really difficult. Plus, humans aren't built for high altitude. If you lose the strength to walk above 8,000 meters, your fate is sealed. I'm not calling the ghoul's actions justified, I'm just saying that I don't think there could be a scenario where he survived.
